Friends That Invest · Do This RIGHT NOW during the Iran War · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

The second reason, and one that is probably a lot more controversial, I mean, this whole episode is controversial, is the fact that a lot of new technology ends up becoming produced at a much faster rate because of war.

So I have some really interesting examples that I think would be like a

I mean, it depends what kind of person you are at a party, I'll be honest, but I like kind of sharing a little history war fact.

I think it really brings the dinner party table together.

The first one that probably surprises you is that EpiPens were invented because of the war.

Back in 1973, during the Vietnam War, doctors on the front line had kind of realized that they needed to create some sort of device that could like stab a wounded soldier in the leg and give them the medication that they need that could be life-saving.

So for example, if a soldier ran into like some chemical gas, they needed to be able to quickly inject something themselves and be able to survive because you're just, you're not going to have like a makeshift hospital going with you at every frontline.

I don't know.

I'm not really a war specialist.

But that worked out really well.

And the company ended up using that technology to go, well, what if we put life-saving medication in there for the everyday person?

Like if they had anaphylactic shock, we could give them something that they could just insert themselves into their own leg and

And then they could like not pass away.

And so EpiPens were literally invented through the war.

Again, I don't want this to come across as me saying war is good because it brings more technology.

It's more to answer the question of why does the market and capitalism as a whole not deteriorate during war?

One of the reasons is because technology just tends to be pushed faster due to need.

And then it comes into the private sector quite quickly.

Another example, believe it or not, sanitary pads.

Sanitary pads were invented during the war.
